2599 Great Enterprise of Debt-Collecting
“You would rather keep a fake than bring my real younger sister back home.” Mu Xingchen clenched his fists. “I do not want to listen to you explain anything. Whether you like it or not, this is the truth.”
“Mu Jingfeng, is what Xingchen says true?” A handsome man dressed in white and in his 30s questioned aggressively.
“Jingyuan, don’t get agitated. Listen to what Eldest Brother has to say.” The second brother, Mu Jingxing, hastily held back his third brother.
“Mu Jingfeng, you truly are heartless and ungrateful! Since you didn’t want to bring the child back at that time, don’t do it now either!” Mu Jingfeng scoffed.
“Hey, Third Brother, how can you say that?”
“If we don’t bring her back, are we supposed to wait for the emperor to execute our entire clan?”
Everyone started talking at once, but then Mu Jingfeng shouted, “Everyone shut up.”
“Xingchen, go to the Eastern Palace again and request to see the crown prince consort until she agrees to see you.”
“It is fine even if you want me to sleep at the gate to the imperial palace.” Mu Xingchen stressed, “The problem is, even if you lie there horizontally in the middle of the road, she will not even spare you a glance when she passes by!”
Everybody twitched their mouths. They turned to look at Mu Jingfeng in confusion.
The relationship between Eldest Brother and his daughter was this bad?
“Xingchen, I will go with you,” Mu Jingyuan said.
He wanted to see that child. He wanted to see her very much.
“I will also go.” Mu Jingxing added, “It will be good to have more people persuade her. If she truly is our Mu Clan’s child, she indeed suffered much growing up outside all these years.”
Mu Jingfeng swept his younger brothers a cold glance. “Do as you please. As long as you bring her back and she passes the bloodline talisman test, she can naturally be written into the Mu Clan’s genealogical record.”
Mu Jingyuan crushed the cup he was holding. He said coldly to his eldest brother Mu Jingfeng, “Don’t worry, even if you do not want this daughter, her third uncle, me, will be there to take care of her.”
“Third Uncle.” Mu Xingchen also stood up. He couldn’t care less about speaking another sentence to Mu Jingfeng. “Let us go.”
The young crown prince consort listened to Eunuch Chen report how many items they had collected, as well as how much remaining they had yet to collect.
She listlessly flipped through her medical book.
At this time, Caixiu hurried in from outside to report, “Crown Prince Consort, that young master from the Mu Clan has come again to request an audience, but this time there also seems to be two other people from the Mu Clan.”
Qiao Mu was indifferent and flipped the page with her finger. “Where is Hubby?”
“His Majesty has called the crown prince to the Empyreal Hall. He most likely will not be back by dinnertime.”
“Oh.” Qiao Mu responded and then put her medical book back in her inner world. She said to Caixiu, “Prepare the carriage. I am going out.”
“Where are we going, Crown Prince Consort?”
The crown prince consort curved her lips and showed a chilling smile. “To collect debt.”
Caixiu was surprised.
These few days, collecting debt had practically become a required course for everyone in the Eastern Palace!
Everyone took delight in talking about this enterprise of debt-collecting. The accountant’s office even enlisted palace maids and eunuchs to help take inventory and check the account books.
However, the crown prince consort had never left the palace to collect debt personally.
Where were they going this time?
Caixiu did not say any more and instructed the servants to prepare the carriage. She prepared a small stove for the crown prince consort to warm her hands and feet. After putting on a thick cloak, she boarded the carriage together with the crown prince consort.
After exiting the Lesheng Gate, the carriage headed straight toward Changle Boulevard.
After Qiao Mu gave the address, the carriage driver drove there straightaway.
